About Pinnacle Fertility Bloomfield Hills
This clinic was IVF Michigan Fertility Center until 2025, when the practice merged its web presence into the Pinnacle Fertility network site. The location page dates its service to the community from 2000. SART has listed the practice as a member clinic since 2016, and the CDC registers it under the name IVF Michigan Fertility Centers, clinic ID 633. Pinnacle shows seven Michigan locations, all of them former IVF Michigan and Ohio offices; this page covers Bloomfield Hills only. The two physicians also see patients at Dearborn, Macomb, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Ann Arbor and Toledo, Ohio.
Outcomes come from the SART 2023 final clinic report, the newest complete cut in our sources. That report is filed under the IVF Michigan practice registration, so the counts and rates below describe the registered reporting unit rather than this street address alone: 2,311 cycles, with live birth rates per intended egg retrieval across all transfers of 52.5% under 35 (455 cycles), 40.9% at 35-37 (237), 27.0% at 38-40 (148), and 8.7% over 40. That over-40 figure is weighted from 13.6% at 41-42 (66 cycles) and 3.3% over 42 (60). Against the SART 2023 national summary in our data capture (53.2% under 35, 39.9% at 35-37, 26.2% at 38-40, 9.4% over 40) the picture is mixed rather than leading: the clinic sits just under the national line under 35 and just over it at 35-37 and 38-40, and clearly under it over 40. All four differences are small except the oldest band. One disclosure, because it affects what you see on this page: the national row stored in this profile reads 51.5/38.9/25.4/12.8 and links back to this clinic’s own report rather than to the national table. That is a defect in our record, not a second SART figure, so this write-up uses the captured national summary; if a chart on this page shows the other set of bars, treat the gap it implies as unresolved. These are all-transfer rates per intended retrieval, not singleton-only rates. A 2024 preliminary cut exists (2,314 cycles) and reads lower; we do not publish it, because preliminary reports exclude cycles still reporting and understate results. Our record also stores a national per-clinic average of 932 cycles for the same year, but those denominators mix reporting scopes, so we do not turn 2,311 into a multiple.
Two reproductive endocrinologists carry the clinical work: Dr. Ahmad Hammoud, named as the medical director on the CDC record, and Dr. F. Nicholas Shamma, whose profile credits more than 8,000 IVF cases. Both hold a medical-director title in the practice’s own materials, and nothing in our sources defines how the two roles split. Two nurse practitioners, Lorrie Posegay (women’s health) and Zeinab Hazime (family practice), handle nursing-side care; Hazime consults in Arabic. Laboratory work is recorded as CLIA and CAP accredited, and posted hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, closed on weekends.
Accreditations & Awards
- SART member clinic since 2016, reporting under registration ID 2000049, so the cycle numbers above are checkable against the national registry rather than clinic marketing. SART’s directory currently flags this listing as not in good standing; the 2023 report we quote is complete and readable, which is why we use it.
- CDC-registered ART clinic as IVF Michigan Fertility Centers, clinic ID 633. The CDC clinic table records SART membership and verified lab accreditation for this practice.
- CLIA and CAP laboratory accreditation, listed on the practice’s own pages and consistent with the CDC accreditation flag.
- Detroit Hour Magazine Top Docs in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, 2017-2025, awarded to Dr. Ahmad Hammoud.
- Physician research recognition: the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology counts Dr. Shamma’s study on intra-amniotic infection and twin preterm birth among the 50 most-quoted papers in the field.
Why Choose Pinnacle Fertility Bloomfield Hills
- Every age band comes with its denominator. You can see that the 27.0% result for ages 38-40 rests on 148 cycles and the 8.7% over-40 result on 126, so you can judge how much of the number is signal for someone in your band.
- Two board-certified reproductive endocrinologists with different centers of gravity. Shamma’s listed expertise is preimplantation genetics, recurrent pregnancy loss, third-party reproduction, PCOS and congenital uterine anomalies. Hammoud’s is abnormal sperm testing, reduced ovarian reserve, and how environment and diet bear on fertility.
- Donor eggs and gestational carriers inside the same network. The location’s service list names donor eggs through Pinnacle Egg Bank and surrogacy through Pinnacle Surrogacy, so third-party paths do not require a referral out of the practice.
- A nurse-practitioner lane, including Arabic. Posegay is a women’s health nurse practitioner and Hazime a family nurse practitioner who consults in Arabic — relevant for Arabic-speaking families in the clinic’s service area, and for anyone whose questions outlast a short physician visit.
- Volume plus registry transparency. 2,311 cycles in one reported year, published against a public registry, is a program you can audit rather than one you have to take on faith.
IVF & Fertility Services
The service list for this location, as the clinic publishes it:
- IVF, with embryo transfer as a separately listed step
- ICSI, on the clinic’s treatment tag list for male factor cases; no usage rate is published in our sources
- IUI
- Egg retrieval, egg freezing and embryo freezing (fertility preservation is listed alongside)
- Male infertility evaluation, including abnormal sperm testing
- Fertility medications
- Genetic testing (PGT) — the location page lists genetic testing among its services (the clinic’s own wording is “comprehensive genetic testing”), and one physician’s specialty is preimplantation genetics; our sources do not break down which PGT types run here versus off site
- Laparoscopy
- Counseling and support
- LGBTQ+ family building programs for individuals and couples
- Donor eggs through Pinnacle Egg Bank
- Surrogacy through Pinnacle Surrogacy
Fees & Packages
There is no published price list. Our source states that the clinic’s site does not disclose itemized pricing and names three cost-management paths instead:
- PatientFi — third-party installment financing for treatment
- Insurance navigation — help working out what a plan covers
- Gaia IVF Guarantee — a money-back style program; our source names it but publishes no terms, eligibility rules or price
What a cycle costs here, and which items sit inside a quoted cycle fee versus billed separately (medication, freezing, storage, genetic testing), is not in our sources. Ask the clinic for a written breakdown that states this explicitly.
Patient Journey
Our source describes this sequence for the Bloomfield Hills location as the standard Pinnacle Fertility pathway. It records the steps, not the calendar — stimulation length, monitoring intervals, culture days and wait times are not published in it.
- Consultation booking — an initial appointment, with telehealth listed among the location’s facilities
- Testing — the fertility workup that follows the consult
- Personalized plan — treatment chosen from the service list above
- Treatment and monitoring — cycles tracked by the clinic
- Egg retrieval and transfer — listed as one combined stage in the source’s own flow
- Pregnancy confirmation — the final step in the published sequence
Local Legal Framework
What our research record documents for Michigan, at statute-name level. It does not reproduce statutory text, and we did not independently verify each provision’s current scope; confirm with the clinic and with Michigan family-law counsel before acting on this.
- Egg donation — legal; our record cites Michigan Compiled Laws section 333.2690 and notes written informed consent from the donor.
- Surrogacy — our record cites Michigan Compiled Laws section 722.851 and marks surrogacy as non-commercial, meaning paid arrangements are restricted. The clinic routes surrogacy cases through Pinnacle Surrogacy.
- Preimplantation genetic testing — legal practice; our record cites no extra state restriction.
- LGBTQ+ access — our record grounds this in Obergefell v. Hodges (2015).
- Not in our sources — Michigan’s treatment of stored embryos as legal persons, embryo disposition rules, who may be named on a birth certificate after gestational-carrier pregnancy, and any state insurance mandate for fertility treatment. Where you need those answers, get them from counsel, not from this page.
